4 questions about the Falcons 2018 NFL Draft class

The Atlanta Falcons got a good haul in the 2018 NFL draft according to most experts. Still, there are questions to be answered.

Here’s four questions that this year’s draft class raises.

1. Did they do enough at defensive tackle?

In a perfect world, third-round pick Deadrin Senat would be capable of starting at nose tackle in place of Dontari Poe right away. That’s no guarantee though, and the rest of the depth chart behind Grady Jarrett is still pretty thin. Adding another DT in the later rounds would have helped resolve this. As it is, they’re putting a lot of pressure on a rookie lineman. If Senat flops, you’re looking at a big hole in the middle of the defensive line. Don’t be surprised if Atlanta adds a couple more UDFAs here or a veteran free agent between now and training camp.
